6 Day Fes to Merzouga Desert Tour
Our 6 day desert tour from Fes gives you enough time to enjoy both the journey and the Sahara experience.
The route is a combination of nature, Moroccan culture, desert adventure, and historic architecture. Every day brings a different environment, from cool mountain forests to dry plateaus, green oases, and the golden dunes of Erg Chebbi.
The extra time also allows you to enjoy Merzouga more fully, with a dedicated day for exploring the desert region and experiencing its local culture.

You can also visit a village known for its traditional music and learn more about the communities living around the desert.
After lunch, enjoy some free time around Merzouga. Walk through the village, relax at your accommodation, or take in the views of Erg Chebbi.

Why Choose a 6-Day Desert Tour from Fes?
A 6 day Fes desert tour is a good option for travelers who want more than a quick visit to the Sahara.
The itinerary creates space for exploration and relaxation. You have a full day around Merzouga, allowing you to experience the desert beyond the typical camel trek. There is also enough time to enjoy the valleys and kasbahs of southern Morocco before continuing to Marrakech.
The journey brings together several very different landscapes in one trip: mountain forests, rocky plateaus, palm-filled oases, desert dunes, deep gorges, and High Atlas scenery.
Spend More Time in the Merzouga Desert
Merzouga is one of the main highlights of the journey.
Your camel trek takes you into the Erg Chebbi dunes, where you can enjoy the changing light of the Sahara. The desert camp provides an opportunity to experience Moroccan hospitality away from the busy cities.
The following day is dedicated to exploring the wider desert area, giving you more time to understand the landscape and culture of the region.
For travelers who prefer additional comfort, upgraded desert camps can be arranged according to availability and budget.
